 Nashoba Symphonic Band is grateful for  

support provided by Nashoba Friends of Music, a  dedicated group of volunteers who shared our vision  

of a new community band and enthusias cally  contributed to making that vision a reality.

Nashoba Symphonic Band  was organized in the summer of 2016 under the auspices of Nashoba Friends of Music through the efforts of Nashoba Regional High School Director of Music Joe McCarthy, NSB Music

Director and Conductor David Bailey, and several founding members of the Band. Many of the ini al par cipants were dedicated community musicians seeking addi onal opportuni es to play together; with the addi on of new players, including many area students and educators, the band now has over one hundred members, drawn from more than thirty communi es.

Music and magic conjure Dukas’  classic The Sorcerer’s Appren ce, but there’s much more on this program  to put you in a mysterious frame of mind: ghosts, surprises, and fairy  tales turned on their heads!
